Quick run down of the set up - a 4ft x 4ft (6 high) tent, most likely a 600w HPS (still thinking this one over), a 250cfm/carbon filter extraction system, growing from cuttings in soil. The question is regarding using a 10 pot wilma drip system which i've had to buy as visting the growroom will be a bit intermittent. This measures a touch under 4ft long by 2ft wide with 2 banks of 5 x 6.5ltr pots. I intend to place this in the middle which leaves about 30cm free each side so what i was thinking is buying the yield shelf for the tent and doing half a sog. As in train them to grow outwards first maybe even top them once during this and then when they reach the edge let them grow upwards.
If I top them quite early I'll let 1 main stem grow straight and train the other main stem along the sog, but so that this inner stem isn't higher than the outside of the canopy i'll pinch it from time to time to keep it's height in line with the rest of the canopy - I think it'll have a 2 week headstart before the outer parts are ready to start growing vertically.
So thats my plan.....Just wondering if it sounds okay and if you would do anything different. Im new'ish to all this so always looking for ways to improve - thus the semi-sog sog idea!
p.s adding more plants isn't an option - 10 is personal - more is likely to lead to a more severe slap on the wrists!
Cheers all
